My wife and I, parents of 3 grown children, are life-long residents of Maspeth and active in the community. I served 4 years in the Air Force as a Weapons Control Officer. I was then employed at NY Telephone, attending law school at night, and later the Board of Education Retirement System. Elected in 2000, I first served in Criminal Court then transferred to Civil Court. I have had 40 opinions published by the State Reporter. I am honored to have the opportunity to serve in Supreme Court and respectfully ask for your vote.
